Present
The family tradition continues, with trips or rather the voyage, Ben goes and discovers more wonders and scents of the world. That is where memories begin. Like Albert in his Berlin days, Ben relies on exclusive hotels as a point of sale. Unlike his great-great-grandfather, he concentrates on it. The store in New York’s Plaza reopened in 2008.
The next opening at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills will be accompanied by Charming California 215. A perfume with the unique fragrance of the Jacaranda trees, which enchant all of Los Angeles with their flowers twice a year. Floral and healthy, totally Cali.
You can find Krigler again in the famous and iconic Hotel Adlon in Berlin, Germany; located only two blocks away from the first Boudoir at the corner of Friedrichstrasse and Unter den Linden. In 2015, to celebrate the reopening of the store in Berlin; Kabarett Krigler 216 a tribute to the glorious days from the 1920s was created. In 2017, Bouquet Baroque 217 was created, a perfume that his mother started 20 years ago and has completed. The opulent still lives of flowers from the Baroque period, inspired by the painter Bruegel.
Krigler perfumes are so distinctive by the time and the story behind each fragrance. The house’s quality standards are all about that. From the development to the availability in store, can sometimes take decades. After maceration, the ingredients have to rest in a cellar.
After the mixture is set, they can ripen again. Like a good wine. Eau de Parfum takes around a year and a half, two years for the perfume and three and a half years for the extract until it is ready and meets the high demands. All fragrances are made in a limited quantity each year, none over one thousand, so it does make them limited, and worth the wait.
The next stop on this journey is the Floridian Riviera, and to be more exact, Palm Beach. Here, on the wild east coast of Florida, the fragrance history of the house is continuing! With the new boudoir in the luxurious Four Seasons Resort and with the new perfume Palm Dream 219, Ben Krigler is reminiscent of the place where the family often spent the holidays in the 1950s. And to the legendary Palm Beach Resort, which was a glamorous focal point for the top ten thousand in the 1920s.
Coming back to Austrian roots, where Albert’s brother opened a store in 1909. The House reopened in Vienna, Austria its largest boutique worldwide in The Palais Hansen Kempinski on the famous Ringstrasse. Like each boutique, an atelier or workshop is on the site giving the ability to Krigler to be the only Parfumeur to create fragrances, scented candles and the entire collection on the site.
From Vienna, back to the US, Krigler opened in Chicago (just like Albert’s trip 110 years ago). Opening a jewel box decorated boutique. Mixing the classic Krigler style with black, gold and many mirrors. Krigler is in the iconic Peninsula Hotel. As always designed by Ben, who is not only a Parfumeur but also a trained architect.
Opening a boutique in the city of San Francisco at the iconic Ritz-Carlton San Francisco located in the Nob Hill district. The city that Albert Krigler visited for the first time in 1911.
In Houston, we opened our first store in the Texan state at the exquisite Four Seasons Hotel Houston. Located in the main lobby, the store represents our expansion in the South region and in the booming state. Houston is an inspiring city with culture, space discovery, history and culinary delights.
